Before leaving for hospital, Kishor, told reporters: «My fast unto death will continue».
The police picked up Kishor early in the morning on Monday, in pursuance of an FIR lodged against him last week for holding a 'fast unto death' at Gandhi Maidan, in violation of a Patna High Court order that forbids any such demonstration at a place other than Gardani Bagh locality in the city. He was later released on bail.
Kishor has thrown his weight behind an ongoing protest by civil service aspirants to press the demand for cancellation of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exams held last month amid allegations of question paper leak.
